Vk-162 Remote Mount USB GPS

Works great for PC mapping project

You don't need any driver.. But its good to download U-center to check your device.. OR Any application that retrieve the coordinates from this device. I wish it has a led light to indicate GPS fix or something tells you it catches the satellites. Very happy and sure I recommended.

Plugged it into a linux laptop, made sure I had gpsd installed, and then checked with gpsmon. It quickly fixed to a few satellites and the location was correct.

I'm using this with a Raspberry Pi in a ham radio application, keeping the Pi on schedule for FT8. After you set it up properly (Google for the obscure procedure to add a hardware clock), it does the job perfectly well.

This works flawlessly on my HP desktop computer running Windows 11. It manages to spot and sync with satellites immediately after turning on the computer. In under a minute, I was able to set up the device and get the software to synchronize my computer's time with the circling GPS satellites. However, I am disappointed that I have been unable to get it to work on my Microsoft Surface Tablet computer running Windows 11. While the device driver does install, the GPS puck is unable to get a lock on any satellites, so does not synchronize my laptop's time with the many overhead GPS satellites.
